The real beauty of this sort of setup is that you can close your eyes and use your ears to listen to the music. 🙌🏻
very well said, never thought about this. Unfortunately in front of me there is only espace and money for a piano, ipad, and a nano-kontrol2
i only imagine the feeling or turning knobs or faders and feeling the bass increasing trembling in your finger, nice thing to remember
That Empress sounds beautiful! Smooth as hell.
I read about this technique in a book called Mixing with your mind but Michael Stavrou many years ago. It really helps develop an ear for EQ. He also has a good technique for learning to hear compression as well. You’ve been really killing it with your videos recently btw!
Yes. To me it feels like the passion for teaching is coming back. I always learn from every video he makes, but lately it feels like it's more about teaching than correcting the record again and I like that. I my opinion it is impossible to address and counteract all the false information on mixing being put out on youtube. There is just sooo much of it. It's nice of David to give his opinion when things really really go off the rails, but other than that, I just enjoy being in a useful bubble and don't even want to worry about what everyone else is doing. I found my 2-3 guys that I have time to watch and the rest can make 100 silly videos about the "10 best EQ moves", "the only vocal chain you will ever need" and "7 bass lines for making hit music" for all I care. I'm not going to watch any of it anyway.
@@peteranders6893 Yeah great book I read it about 10 years ago and finally learned how to set a compressor without guess work.
Can you elaborate about that technique for setting the compressor?
@@DOENERUSCHI Essentially you set the compressor to extreme settings listen to how the compressor reacts to the signal. Start with fast release, max ratio and threshold low enough to get a generous amount of compression. Start by playing with the attack and hear hw that effect the signal. Second, play with the release. Third play with the ratio and finally bring the threshold up to what is suitable.
This technique helps you develop an ear for compression and learn what each of the functions do regardless of the signal. Eventually you will instinctively know what to set the compressor to and you can make faster decisions without guessing. The technique is perfect for beginners who may not yet learned what to listen for with compression.
@@ProDoucher I see, thank you very much for the explanation. Funnily enough, that's what I already did naturally without knowing this was an "official technique".
this is brilliant. definitely makes the differences in the moves easier to hear, and, so, easier to pick the right one for your song
This is great that you mention resetting your ears. Whenever I want to record something, a track, maybe just a four bar guitar riff, it is very helpful not to listen to any type of music beforehand. keeps distractions out of your mind.
This lesson rocks! A very fast paced exercise that should be in your everyday.
King of hoping we have a great day! 👑 Can't get over how good that EQ sounds. Great video and useful tips as always!
This is spot on, great advice and a simple technique. I’ve been doing this more and more as I incorporate outboard gear into my process. For me (I’m 55), I have a far easier time mixing with my ears using outboard gear, and I get the result I want much more quickly. Thanks, David, for an entertaining and enlightening channel.
The mix sounds like velvet petals sooooo lush and full of life not harsh digital flatness
David i dont know whats your audio interface but your mix gives me goosebumps and chills beg you one of your old converters that you no longer used your mix is killing me man from Jamaica
Nice. That actually works.
Great tip, perfectly logical. Now I need to try and adapt this technique using plugins.
Always question what you hear with fresh ears. Learned that in school 🏫
Absolutely amazing tip!! Thank you :)
Worked well!👏🏾👏🏾
Proof that the better you are the more is about your ears and skills. Thank you David!
It's nice to see how David turns on the eq conforming to the rythm of the song )
Ah, this definitely will help with the low end question that I had on the previous video. That “Night Walk” song was such a good example.
Thank you!
Wow it really makes a difference. You live and breath this every day and it shows
Once again a great video, with great advice! The sound of the empress is sweet! Crazy what the tube boost does too!
That Empress EQ really sounds great. Even in the frequencies I’m really sensitive to (2k to 5k). Always sounded smooth while also not seeming too colored or obvious. Just nice! Even in plugin land, I like hardware style EQs on the mixbus. I feel like I always make more musical sounding decisions when I’m limited to specific bands and wider curves. I start chasing my tail when I try to get too surgical on the whole mix
The Empress is something else, really a remarkable unit
@@mixbustv is it a tube based EQ? It has that vibe to me. I think I need one 😂
@@mrnelsonius5631 Russian NOS
yes yes yes yes yes yes
Never heard of this trick - but now it totally makes sense. Thank you 🙏
This is a very nice technique indeed. A very natural way to hear the changes that are being implemented. Awesome share, David. 👍
Wow, great knowledge!
Definitely best EQ moves tip, Great stuff buddy 💪🏿
Very useful technique for EQing...Thanks David!
This EQ sounds dope BTW👍😳
tHANK YOU dAVID, i WILL IMPLEMENT THIS WAY OF EQING FROM NOW ON
Brilliant!!
Very cool how you use your mind to understand the brain's perceptions.
A small but powerful move! Thanks for that, David!
Yes. I get it. I'll do it. My ears need all the help I can get
Thanks! Grettings from Colombia 🇨🇴
So useful again amazing. Thanks for these great tips that help us improve our listening skills
It’s true I hear more difference after bypassing 😅. It’s crazy! Thanks. Simple and super effective 👍
This works amazingly well and something that I do regular. I’ve started using analogue/hardware Eq and just having that on off/bypass switch really teaches you to test the differences.
A break is the key in many cases.. .. Like I have a corner when I move my mouse the monitors turn off...
But Never thought of this.. It's a approach I'll definitely be trying.
Cheers
Thanks for the tip Dave!
Best channel period 💪
Best Mastering and Mixing Channel on here aside from Sage Audio and Paul Third.,,,,and Into The Lair/Pensado's Place
Thet was amazing
Great Tip D 🔥 Ears are focused after each EQ passage u make .
Will use this tip for my outboard and software EQ’s.
BTW does thus tip work on compression ?
I assume everyone does it with compression, it's less intuitive when eq'ing while selecting frequencies
Very useful info. Thanks
Great tip! David, what do you think about this to help with selecting the right frequencies to improve the mix- on a plugin with no visible spectrum display like a channel strip for example- I sometimes cycle through the frequencies but with the gain boost cranked pretty hard- like 5-10db. If I hear a frequency at this level boost that sounds pleasing, then I’m pretty confident that I can back it off a bit and it’s still improving the mix. Also it then seems to help me in hearing and identifying the more subtle 1db-2db of that particular frequency that I otherwise might not have heard.
Thoughts? Ok method? I’m still learning this stuff!
Definitely a viable method, analog eq's don't have spectrum analyzer :D
Very helpful video. Thanks David.
Will try this on my drawmer 1976
What an awesome "trick" :-)
Eye opening, thank you!
Супер! Спасибо!!!
Cool tracks!
Nice!
This tactic works pretty good. Does it work with other kind of processing like compression?
I assumed everyone is doing it with compression, but yes absolutely. I do it with my NG which can store 3 presets on the front panel. With eq is less intuitive to bypass when you swipe freqs
Great tip, thank you! A bit off topic but how do you like the tube boost on the Empress? What do you like to use it on? Thanks again!
I love it but is not subtle, it's A LOT of color and quite an increase in level (and there's no output control on the eq), but I love to use it on vocals, piano, guitars, usually one of the main elements in a mix. it's literally magic on vocals sometimes, same for its top end
@@mixbustv thanks a ton, this helps!
What i have been doing more recently is switching my computerscreen off now and then. Then you are really forced to listen. Use your ears in stead of your eyes and your brain!
Hey David! I just watched your dithering video and I have a follow up question: I've been experimenting using the Oxford Inflator plugin on my mastering chain AFTER my brick-wall limiter (I use the Slate FG-X). Should I be using an additional dither plugin after the Oxford Inflator or is it okay to use the dithering from FG-X before hitting the Inflator as my final plugin? Additionally, is there anything wrong about using the Inflator BEFORE my limiter or am I okay in using effects after the brick-wall limiter? Thanks so much for your insight! 🙏
Dither must be the very last slot or process you do if the brickwall limiter doens't have one on board. You shouldn't put something else after it. And brickwall limiting should be the last processing you do (unless, again, you don't have to use a dither plugin after), so no, inflator after brickwall makes no sense and it could actually cause audible distortion if overshoots.
@@mixbustv thanks for the answer David and for correcting my flawed ways! 🙏🖤 Lol! Keep up the great videos! 🤘
its fo sure a good technique/ example and a great way to freshen up ur listening,but wat if you dont have analog gear in ur just in the box,whats a good technique ?? thanks bro love ur channel, please keep giving us examples like this bro, am in sin city and i took all the classes they offer at the University and they didnt teach me shit, i need ur knowledge so i can get better an be able to do this for a living,like u
Just bypass the plugin while going from a frequency to another and look at classic eq's for frequency choices (or use emulations)
wizardry
yes i guess this is a mistake that is easy to do: you start wrong in one freq. very probably, them go trying more things, but soon your reference are the bad ☠️frequencies (that kill and go to jail) because now they sounded before and you react to them , unless you have a very strong aural representation. So bypassing by every change looks a very good practice, principally when there is a lot of eq to do.Ideal is to have a bypass key command as well that works for every open plugin.
Hey David what do you use for summing or what do you suggest good summing do I go something mixer or I go a council
I don't use summing, my summing is my 50 channels of analog gear. Summing mixers are not something I advise people to get generally speaking
STop running away from reviewing Three Body Tech's Kirchhoff EQ. I'm just kidding. :-)
How does it fare against Eventide's SplitEQ and Claro?
Im watching you.....
👍
Could this technique be also effective with other utilities like Saturation?
Sure
for example: if your hardware eq dont have 4.2khz on board,,,,,, you may have 3,5 khz on the hardware how will you eq this 4.2k range with your hardware eq?
With my SPL PQ 👍😎
I love this technique. Definitely gonna use it.
What do you think of all the streaming services? They all either compress audio or degrade the audio in favor of the video (Yt). And Considering everyone consumes it from a streaming service on their tiny earbuds? Or on their phone....... Would something like apple lossless prevent these issues?
Next, how loud do you mix at? I have to mix at SUPER low volumes Because my ears are just BLOWN in no time if I don’t. if I don’t want to have to remix it later.
Nothing you can do about whatever the streaming services do to your music, just like nobody could do anything before where there were mono speakers or people keeping their hi-fi stereo with one speaker in the kitchen and one in the living room or have stupid eq's in their car stereo. The answer is always and has always been only one and the same: you need the best mix possible period. This is why professional mixes translate well everywhere, this is why we have expensive monitors and rooms. There will never be a place and a time where your mix is heard in the absolute perfect listening conditions which is WHY everyone needs a great mix for their songs.
@@mixbustv thank you for this well thought out and awesome reply!
how to do it in the box ?
Lol really? Bypass the plugin and unbypass. 🤔
@@themountainradio You are genius
@@Klipsat you're welcome
nice! Thank you again man!
